Oct. 19th, 2010 05:47 pmNearby the place I went hiking last weekend is the Kunzang Palyul Choling temple. I'm sorry I didn't know about this when Mum was around; it would have been one more thing that *might* have persuaded her to come visit DC (IIRC, she and dad came to visit twice in the 20+ years I've lived here--once when Chris and I lived in Alexandria and once when we lived in Fairfax).
Among other attractions (a Peace Park and a Crystal Room--a room containing crystals, sadly, not one made of crystal), it has a rescue aviary. This would explain the incredibly strange noises I heard when I was walking behind the temple's grounds, which sounded like a creature that was half pig and half peacock being persuaded to do something against its better judgement. It was probably just a parrot saying "Yo, lookit me! I'm byoo-tee-full!" :-)
